your child is hyperactive
In 1974, Dr. Ben Feingold's book, Why
Your Child is Hyperactive, burst onto the
scene, shaking up the medical andndustrial establishments
in the United States, as well as abroad. The effects continue to this day.

helped has had a positive effect on the lives of many thousands of people.
It has triggered far-reaching changes in what we eat and how health, learning
and behavior is perceived. But while the affected industries are well aware
of the enormous potential of Dr. Feingold's work, most of the public is
not. This is why you may have had to search long and hard to find our association,
and it is why you may behaving trouble gaining the cooperation of those
around you. This book can help.
